Makes me wonder if the owners saw this coming months ago, and the license fee fiasco was done on purpose to deflect responsibility?
I don't think they're making much money. I think the license fee was a misguided (and desperate) attempt at monetisation. I think the whole company is mismanaged as it shouldn't be this size at all, and the way they tried to monetise it was based around this completely overbloated number of employees.
I'm not defending the layoffs. It's bad. But the company shouldn't be this size to begin with. It's gross negligence on the part of management to get to this state and fuck with people's lives like this.
